A meteorite with a mass of 25 kilograms falls to Earth in a direction perpendicular to the Earthís surface. At t = 0 seconds the meteorite is 1000 meters above the Earth. At
t = 2 seconds it is 750 meters above the Earth. Assume the meteoriteís acceleration
due to gravity is constant during this time. Which of the following is the amount of
work the Earthís gravitational force has done on the meteorite between t O and t =
2?

Astone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, 250 m above the ground. (assume g = 9.8 m/s2.) (a) find the distance (in meters) of the stone above ground level at time t. h(t) = (b) how long does it take the stone to reach the ground? (round your answer to two decimal places.) s (c) with what velocity does it strike the ground? (round your answer to one decimal place.) m/s (d) if the stone is thrown downward with a speed of 2 m/s, how long does it take to reach the ground? (round your answer to two decimal places.) s
